I always suggest you speak to an attorney in person before doing anything. Most attorneys have free consultations. You may not need an attorney to enforce the JOD/PSA but I cannot tell you for sure that it is the right move here.
Re: enforcing divorce judgment agreement
Yes you can but you can also have an attorney file the motion and seek legal fees to enforce a judgment--the court rules call for legal fees when enforcement is required --can you show how you attempted to get compliance voluntarily? Call or email to discuss if you wish a brief free consult.

It is just a simple matter of asking the judge to sign an order which can act as a deed which can be filed with the Registrar of Deeds.
Call me if you like.

You certainly can try to do this on your own...the only question I have is why wouldn't you want to use a lawyer when the other side is definitely going to use one?
